Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0727672A1] A magnetostatic field generating magnet includes a first coil assembly (11) for generating a main magnetic field in a predetermined area and a second coil assembly (12) for generating a shield magnetic field for actively shielding a magnetic field leaking from the main magnetic field. The first coil assembly (11) has small-diameter coils (W) for generating a low-order magnetic component and a large-diameter coil (V) for generating a high-order magnetic component. <IMAGE>
